Abstract
The aim: To determine the dynamics of galectin-3 in the formation of the patient’s clinical profile and the impact on structural cardiac and vascular remodeling in patients with myocardial infarction after reperfusion therapy. Materials and methods: 140 patients with class II A CHF syndrome according to Vasilenko-Strazhesko FC II-III (NYHA), which occurred in patients with MI, and 22 patients with MI without signs of CHF were examined. Results: The average serum galectin-3 level of the studied patients was analyzed. The average concentration of galectin-3 in patients with stenting without signs of CHF was (10.87±1.65) ng/ml comparing to (6.57±0.21) ng/ml in healthy subjects (p<0.05). An increase in the concentration of this indicator was observed in the group of patients with CHF after MI with reperfusion - (35.2±1.76) ng/ml, which is significantly higher in comparison with practically healthy subjects, and in patients without revascularization it was (38.94±1.97) ng/ml (p<0.001). Positive correlations of medium strength were found between left ventricular end-systolic volume (ESV), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and serum galectin-3 concentration in the examined patients. The correlation coefficient between the abovementioned indicators was 0.60 (p<0.01) and 0.53 (p<0.05), respectively. Conclusions: It has been determined that in patients with CHF with postinfarction cardiosclerosis there is a direct correlation of medium strength between the values of indicators of LV myocardial remodeling with plasma galectin-3 concentration, including ESV, EDV, in examined patients. The role of galectin-3 as a marker of postinfarction remodeling in patients with CHF for early diagnosis, prognosis, and risk stratification has been presented.
